You Decide Where Your Tax Dollars Go!



You have until midnight tonight to claim the AZ Foster Care Tax Credit for 2018. This is a dollar for dollar tax credit on what you may owe the state of Arizona.
As of February 2019 there are 13,792 children in the Arizona foster care system.
Between July 1, 2018 - January 31, 2019 8,248 children were removed from their homes in Maricopa County.

The Arizonans for Children Visitation Centers are where many of these children will have visits with their parents and siblings as they work towards reunification.
Did you know that Arizonans for Children is not state or federally funded at all?
Did you know that every service provided to families experiencing time in foster care is completely FREE? Arizonans for Children doesn't charge foster placements, group homes, any caregiver, DCS or the parent aid agencies.
Did you know there are several different types of AZ Tax Credits and you can claim them all?
Up to $500 if you file as single and up to $1000 for joint returns
You decide where your tax dollars go!

Father's Day at Arizonans for Children

Father's Day Arizonans for Children Visitation Centers celebrate every holiday with the families on site.  This week we honored the fathers.  Dads that are trying to reunify and make sure their children are part of their lives. We see dads brushing doll hair, down on the floor encouraging their little ones to take the first steps, reading stories, enjoying meals together, laughing, playing and creating memories that will last a lifetime-memories that heal. " In the last hour of this duo's visit, I over heard them sigh when they didn't see chocolate cake as an option. I let them know I'm sure we had some and brought out a fresh cake for them. I'm not sure who had the biggest smile....dad or his daughter. Thanks to Cafe Valley Bakery, we have many options to feed those with a sweet tooth! The two gobbled up their cake. Dad was unaware Father's Day was coming up....I let him know it's a day to recognize all the fabulous dads....just like him

Thanks to my new best friend Chris Huie, Arizonans for Children participated in this fantastic opportunity.  Our team Tomas, Mandy and Cindy listened to our agency needs, tossed ideas around and came up with the perfect solution.  This team developed an electronic check-in system that will offer faster check in and out times that will translate into more quality time spent on a visit for the families using the centers. This new system also tracks the data creating seamless reports while respecting and protecting the confidentiality of our clients.  All of this was done with the knowledge that cost  is always a factor in non-pro
